Gender, Sport and the Role of Alter Ego in Roller Derby focuses on the resurgence of roller derby by examining the appeal and dedication to a sport that combines the masculine aggression and physicality of sport with a more feminine, or alternative, style of organizing and community building.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of organizational communication, gender, feminisms, and sport.
